The guy is toast, he doesn't understand the economic reforms takes years. And whatever policies being put in shall need years to take action, especially with a broken economy like Argentina. And if you put people in poverty for years, they shall call for your head. I mean you elected a singer who doesn't understand economy to manage macro economic policies, that's insane. It doesn't matter if his dog name is Milton Friedman, he understand Friedman as much as his dog.

@erf2324 Yes, in Argentina. And the clear reason why he taught at universities is proof of his incompetence, he couldn't get a permanent teaching position. And furthermore he work freelance for investing companies, meaning he has absolutely no idea any of this macro economics policy of countries actually works. Come on, homie. He literally ignored the far more successful model of economic growth by the Chinese for the last 50 years in favor of a failure growth model that ended in disaster for both US and Britain in the 80s and 90s. Not a very smart guy.

@cellphone7223 I don't think you understand how economic works, what regulation means and what market demand is. You're like a cow regurgitating what's been fed down it's throat. Friedman would have been ashamed of you. No economy exists without regulation, that's a fact, regulation of the government is absolutely crucial in ensuring the viability of an "economy", because economy ties directly to human wellbeing, and when human wellbeing is not ensured, they revolt. Friedman argument of less government intervention applies to very specific types of intervention in the American economy. And even his policies include countless "regulations", for example regulations that you're not allowed to commit financial fraud, business fraud, securities fraud, that food providers must meet basic eatable and drinkable conditions. All of those regulations are to ensured that once the free market goes into operation, it doesn't lead to social unrest by causing harm. That's in the US, where there's a minimum living condition embedded within the structure of the country. Argentina is not the US, it's scenario is different, the policies are different, their corporation structure is different, their population is different. For example, if a gigantic, significant number of people is living in poverty, far more than the US in the 1980s when Friedman is alive. Suddenly taking away intervention policies directly affect their wellbeing, while the intervention of the "free market" takes far longer than the time those people have on hand. So if the free market takes 5-7 years to adjust and get the economy back on track. Are you going to let the significant pool of the population starve to death due to rising prices? You're trying to solve an infinitely complex problems with multiple moving parts based on a rudimentary answer Friedman give to a kid in 2 minute Q&A clip. Wake up. This is way over your head, pal, so stop regurgitating stuff you don't understand one bit.

@darkseid6898 No, kid. You know nothing about economy in general. Please go back to school and study Friedman properly. Here's a clue, his answers in those 2 minutes Q&A clips online ain't solid material. That's the answers you give to a kid.
